Dust off your old Easter nick name or think of a shiny new one and get into the Easter spirit! Easter Smile

We egg-spect a clutch of terrible puns, so please don't disappoint us.

Post on this thread under your Easter nick name saying what your old nickname was (so we can see how clever you've been Easter Wink).

Tomorrow we'll create a poll of some of the best names, and you can vote for you favourite. The three most popular names will be announced on Thursday, and will win a chocolate egg making kit, from stayindevon.co.uk.

So hop to it! Easter Grin

Um, Kate, I messaged you a little while ago.

While I really appreciate that I won

Awwww, I like Fuckeroo (I voted for her btw) but I wanted to nominate OhYouBadBadKitten who was robbed on the Olympic namechange thread and who's had a rough couple of weeks.

I will have to see what the prize is and whether it's practical to get it here. Otherwise Fuckeroo can have it I s'pose [mutter] but she's not to give it to her bored dd2

I wanted to be all magnanimous, and altruistic and nice

Mines not eggceptional. Was stretchycat now stretchybunny

The prize is fairly easy to post actually, so REWIND!

Maryz is the winner whether she likes it or not and we will send her the prize and it will be magical.

Sorry for the confusion Fuckeroo. The heady world of name changes is fraught with bureaucracy and international legislation, and can become messy. Let's not even get into the doping scandal of 2004...

(Honest, I've not been into the wacky carrots... learnt my lesson in 2004.)

MaRyzerection · 17/04/2014 12:07

Oh, ok

I'm very excited now, I never get things in the post probably because the post hardly ever comes to where I am

iK8AllTheEggs · 17/04/2014 15:24

Aw it's lovely to see Mary's erection MaRyzerection come out on top. Jesus will be pleased because that is the true meaning of Easter. None of this chocolate egg bollox, so please post all your eggs to me for safe and humane disposal. Except Dairy Milk because that is just sweet, brown fat and an actual abomination and should not be eaten posted.

WhoKateAllTheEggsMumsnet · 17/04/2014 16:30

I've just realised we've gone for very similar nicknames K8, clearly Kate minds think alike...

ErrolTheDragonsEgg · 17/04/2014 16:36

I'm sorry, but if Mary hadn't intended her name to sound like a subversive hermaphrodite explanation for the virgin birth, shouldn't she have spelled it MaRyzurrection? Confused

FuckerRoosterToGetEggs · 17/04/2014 17:04

Not really. Chuffed to bits to make the shortlist tbh. Well done everyone.

WhoKateAllTheEggsMumsnet · 17/04/2014 17:19

Spoken like a true scholar and a gentleman. Thanks for being a good sport Fuckeroo, please enjoy these whiffly bunnies in cups, as is the ancient tradition for nickname competition imbroglios.

MaRyzerection · 17/04/2014 18:01

I'm sorry Fuckeroo :( - I did vote for you though.

And [arf] at "a subversive hermaphrodite explanation for the virgin birth" - the answer is yes, of course, my spelling is crap Grin

Hahahahaha!!!! very good Wink

MardyBaaLamb · 18/04/2014 09:46

Oh, oh! I never expected to get a prize, was just checking in to the thread really. Am happy for mine to be donated to a good cause/next runner up too because
a) I'm away over Easter so it'll only end up at a neighbour's or the post office, and
b) I don't want my family to know my posting name and there will be some explaining to do if a package arrives from MNHQ.

But the thought is much appreciated and thanks also for the Kotex.

MardyBaaLamb · 18/04/2014 09:47

And Kotex will be autocorrect for votes. Blush wtf.

ErrolTheDragonsEgg · 18/04/2014 09:51

You'd certainly have some explaining to do if MNHQ sent you a package of Kotex Grin.

EasterEggSoloVerTheFloor · 18/04/2014 17:16

I voted for you Mardy!

EasterEggSoloVerTheFloor · 18/04/2014 17:17

Because I genuinely liked your nc; not because I 'know' you.

WaveorCheep · 18/04/2014 19:07

Ooh I made the short list Easter Smile

Oops I think Im way too late -as always a bit slow on the uptake.

Happy Easter anyway!
